"Ananya, President Rathore said that you have a prospectus. How dare you take away such an important document! Which company would dare to hire someone like you in the future? Hurry up and hand it over!" In the message, Eve's tone was visibly flustered and exasperated. When they called MTX Corporation earlier on, President Rathore answered the call and asked about the prospectus.
How would she know about this?
She did not expect President Rathore to hang up so rudely after hearing her stuttering answer!
How on earth would they be able to sign the contract and complete the acquisition tomorrow?
Thinking of the awkward situation tomorrow, Eve sent another message to Ananya: "The data collected by using the company's resources belongs to the company. You have no right to take it away."
Ananya was so angry at Eve's words that she laughed. She had seen shameless people, but this one took the cake. She was so disgusted by Raj's goal to replace her with such a person. But it did not matter. The things she had told Arjun were enough for Raj to suffer.
Ananya blocked the message from Eve and said, "Assistant Rahul, please stop at the intersection ahead." Her tone was calm and a little tired.
Rahul looked at the rear view mirror, wanting to see some hints on Arjun's face, but unfortunately… Arjun was impassive. When they reached the intersection,Rahul signaled the chauffeur to stop the car.
Ananya hugged the box, feeling a little disappointed. She thought that Arjun would ask her to stay, but he sat dispassionately like a stony statue.
"Arjun, you're not asking me to stay?" Ananya leaned against the car window. Her long hair fell down, making her face look even smaller. She seemed to have said this casually—without waiting for Arjun to respond, she carried the box and got out of the car.
Arjun gazed quietly after her receding figure for a long time before retracting his gaze. Ananya was like a lone injured wolf, finding a place to lick her wounds in secret and did not need anyone's sympathy.
It was not until she felt the gaze behind her was gone that Ananya slowly relaxed her body. This place was very close to her apartment, and she needed to cool down. She could not give herself any hope.
He was just a bed partner—did she expect a bed partner to be considerate of her?
Her cell phone rang. This time, it was Raj. Raj was a little anxious when he did not receive Ananya's apology message. Ananya sneered and blocked Raj's phone number. However, after a while, Meera called—it was probably Raj using her phone. The two of them were really joined at the hip. Ananya did not favor one and blocked Meera's number.
After returning to her apartment, Ananya turned on her laptop and browsed a recruitment portal. She then realized that she had a job offer—for the post of Director of M&A—from Kapoor Corporation Group's Human Resources Department. Ananya's fingertips trembled.
Were they asking her to replace Raj?
Ananya thought for a moment. The only person who could do this was Arjun. She was a little nervous. Afraid that she had misunderstood Arjun's meaning, she sent a question mark to Arjun's email—similar to the one he had sent her earlier in the day
Arjun quickly replied: "Reward." A cold word that emanated an inexplicable charm.
"Arjun, is this considered abusing your power for personal gain?" Ananya felt warmth in her heart; fireworks blooming. She had felt very aggrieved when she tendered her resignation today. Her triumphant return would be a massive slap in the face; she naturally would not miss this opportunity. As for the subsequent Sharma and Kapoor families' trouble-making, she would think about it later. Her gratification now was what mattered most!
She thought that Arjun would not reply again, but she received a new email with only one word: "Yes."
Ananya suddenly felt a little emotional. She had known Raj for so many years, but she had never received a gift. In her 13 years in the Sharma family, she had only gotten this small apartment. Her car was bought with her own salary. She had only been involved with Arjun for a week, and she had already gotten a villa worth 20 million . Now, she has been promoted. No wonder some women always wanted to take shortcuts—shortcuts were really fast! Compared to Arjun, Raj was nothing. He was not even worthy of carrying Arjun's shoes!
"Arjun, don't worry. I promise to work hard to repay your kindness." Arjun was now considered her sugar daddy; it was necessary to cajole her sugar daddy occasionally. Compared to money, ego was nothing! Moreover, Ananya realized that Arjun liked this very much. Was this a fetish of the rich?
